Abbotsford Police constable Ian MacDonald says police were called to Abbotsford Senior Secondary around 2 p.m. today to reports of a man with a weapon.

“We arrived on scene, we quickly located the suspect, and at the same time we ended up expediting medical treatment for two injured students. The families of those students were notified, they actually made their way to the school and were ultimately transported with the kids.”

Local mother Jody tells Global News it was a terrifying experience waiting outside the school for information.

“We heard there was a stabbing in the school, then we heard there was a stabbing behind the ravine, and they locked the school down, we heard that they caught the person that did it… But we have no answers. My son is graduating this year…”

“I was deeply saddened to learn about the tragic stabbing at Abbotsford Senior Secondary today. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims, students and the entire community of Abbotsford Senior. I would like to thank the Abbotsford Police Department and emergency services for their response during this difficult incident.”
